FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT,
Dear Members and Friends:
How I wish each and every one of you were here with us at GFWC Convention in New Orleans. The workshops are amazing, and the 31 of us from CA are splitting up and attending all the workshops and affiliate partners so when we get home we will be able to share all of the information we are learning with all of you.
Pam and Dori both taught workshops today and they are amazing Leaders!
We have been to Operation Smile, March of Dimes, Fundraising, and Advocates for Children, Membership and Communications, Arts & Culture workshops and more.
We are in General Sessions and doing Resolutions and Bylaws, listening to the candidates who are running for the GFWC officer positions and being at meetings from early till late every day.
The weather here is very warm, but we haven't been outside much to walk around yet. We have had jambalaya and beans and rice with sausage, one salad, and a few desserts. Pasta and chicken, and egg whites and tomatoes and bacon. A few members have asked me what we have had to eat.
The CA contingent is starting to leave tomorrow morning, and then Tues and Wed. We fly home Thursday and will report back to you fully next week.
Until then, please remember if you are a District President I need your monthly collage of pictures page for the 18-month calendar, and I need them by July Boards in San Ramon.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love and Aloha,
Barbara
